nominees factors such as values, disciplines, ethics, age, gender, race, culture, expertise, background and skills, all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of us and our Board at that point in time in order to maintain a balance
of knowledge, experience and capability. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the

regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The Ethics Committee then uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Ethics Committee
conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board. The Ethics Committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates&#146;
qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board by majority vote. To date, the Ethics Committee has not paid a fee to any third party to assist in the process of identifying or evaluating director candidates. </FONT></P>

nominees for election to the Board may do so by timely delivering a written recommendation to the Ethics Committee at the address set forth on the cover page of this proxy statement containing the information required by our Bylaws. For nominations
for election to the Board or other business to be properly brought before an Annual Meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must comply with the advance notice provisions and other requirements of Article II, Section&nbsp;4 of our Bylaws. These

and Restated Advisory Agreement revised and replaced the Total Equity definition to exclude preferred equity from the base management fee and incentive fee calculations beginning with the fee

Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement with the Adviser, by entering into the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. The Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement revised and replaced the previous calculation of the base management
fee, which was based on Total Equity, with a calculation based on Gross Tangible Real Estate. The revised base management fee will be payable quarterly in arrears and shall be calculated at an annual rate of 0.50% (0.125% per quarter) of the prior
calendar quarter&#146;s &#147;Gross Tangible Real Estate,&#148; defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement as the gross cost of tangible real estate owned by the Company (including land and land improvements, irrigation and
drainage systems, horticulture, farm-related facilities, and other tangible site improvements), prior to any accumulated depreciation, and as shown on the Company&#146;s balance sheet or the notes thereto for the applicable quarter. The calculation
of the other fees in the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement remain unchanged. The revised base management fee calculation will begin with the fee calculations for the quarter ending March&nbsp;31, 2020. All other terms of the Fourth
Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement remained the same. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our Adviser has the ability to issue a full or partial waiver of
the base management fee or the incentive fee and may do so to maintain the current level of distributions to our stockholders. Any such waiver is subject to the approval of our Board. During the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2019 and 2020, the
Adviser granted irrevocable waivers of approximately $1.5&nbsp;million and $0, respectively, of the aggregate fees payable under the Advisory Agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Further, the Advisory Agreement provides for a capital gains-based incentive that will be determined by calculating aggregate realized capital gains and aggregate realized capital losses for the
applicable time period. For this purpose, aggregate realized capital gains and losses, if any, equals the realized gain or loss calculated by the difference between the sales price of the property (based on the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-in</FONT> acquisition cost of disposed properties), less any costs to sell the property and the current gross value of the property (which is calculated as the original acquisition price plus any subsequent <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-reimbursed</FONT> capital improvements). At the end of the respective fiscal year, if this number is positive, then the capital gain fee payable for such time period shall equal 15.0% of such amount. No capital gains
fee has been recognized to date. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Additionally, the Advisory Agreement includes a termination fee whereby, in the event of our
termination of the agreement for any reason (with 120 days&#146; prior written notice and the vote of at least <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal
to three times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">24-month</FONT> period prior to such termination. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the Administration Agreement, we pay separately for administrative services including record keeping and regulatory compliance
functions. Payments under the Advisory Agreement are generally equal to our allocable portion of our Administrator&#146;s overhead expenses in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent for the space occupied by
our Administrator, and our allocable portion of the salaries, bonuses, and benefits expenses of our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of the
Administrator&#146;s expenses are generally derived by multiplying our Administrator&#146;s total expenses by the approximate amount of time the Administrator&#146;s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing
services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under contractual agreements. </FONT></P>

0.15% to a maximum of 1.0% of the mortgage obtained. The amount of the financing fees may be reduced or eliminated, as determined by us and Gladstone Securities, after taking into consideration various factors, including, but not limited to, the
involvement of any third party brokers and market conditions. Messrs. Gladstone, LiCalsi and Dellafiora serve on the board of managers of Gladstone Securities. Our Board reviews, approves and ratifies these fees each quarter. During the fiscal years
